geeezzz everything is sooo good. I wanna know this!

Black Merlin, or George Thompson to his Mum, first came to our attention with his outstanding Brunswick Drive 12" on Commander Weatherall's Bird Scarer label last year. Since then, we've kept a keen eye on his movements and his unique form of 80's inspired, cinematic and analogue heavy aesthetic has earned him further releases on the excellent World Unknown imprint and Mike Simonetti's New Jersey. Look out for an as yet untitled release on London's LN-CC. We are pleased to welcome him into the Clandestino fold.

A welcome return for Black Merlin aka George Thompson who delivers the second part to his very well received mix for us last year. As one of our most popular sets to date, we're delighted to present this second instalment. George continues to be very busy with a slew of new material due out soon. Look out for a partnership with Gordon Pohl from Musiccargo called 'Karamika'. They have a debut LP out through ESP Institute which has been three years in the making. Another collaboration with Kyle Martin entitled 'Spectral Empire' will also be one to check while you can expect new Black Merlin material over the next couple of months on Crimes of the Future, Bhokari and our label of the moment Emotional Response

Completing his third instalment for us we welcome back George Thompson in his Black Merlin guise. George's mixes are always some of our most well received and this one should be no different. Quite unlike most other things you'll hear; which is of course our mission to bring you interesting sounds from way out there. Black Merlin will shortly be releasing an as of yet untitled album via the Indonesian record label, Island of the Gods. Which George recorded in Indonesia featuring Gamelan music and atmospheric recordings of his experiences there.

Clandestino 044 - Black Merlin (Part 3)

(Photo credit - Fabian Kretz)

For 2018’s next expedition, veteran cosmonaut Benedikt Frey takes control of space command after making 2017 one of his several galactic conquests, putting his proverbial black, red & yellow flag in a stunning vinyl release on Bahnsteig 23, an equally stunning album on ESP, a plethora of killer remixes and continuing his record label ‘Love Pain Sunshine & Rain’. Need we say more?

His broad electronic taste is vast, and his sound can be a drift across the universe, a jump to hyperspace, industrial binary clunking or an extraterrestrial attack on the senses. Todays sample is the latter. Packed with ample 303, nothing could be better suited to help you laugh in the face of ‘dry January’, show it the Vs and prime you for the weekend.

We’re Going Deep presents....303 Degrees Fahrenheit - A journey into the murky world of the 303 bassline. When it’s done well, it can be absolutely deadly. Thankfully, there is still lots of great acid to be found if you are prepared to dig a bit.

This ones for all the artists, label owners and people who still love the sound.
